thinks that he should be in charge of all branch merges because he doesn’t understand the release process

.......I don't want you to dox yourself but I am abyss-staringly curious

as a youth I'd acquired this at some point and I recall some fondness about some of the things, largely in the novelty sense (in that they worked "with" the desktop, had the "boss key", etc) - and I suspect that in turn was largely because it was my first run-in with all of those things

later on (skipping ahead, like, ~22y or something), the more I learned about the guy, the harder I never wanted to be in a room as him

may he rest in ever-refreshed piss

I mean, at the rate the chucklefucks are going, a number of these things are actual security exploits

that it happens/works for a completely unhinged reason is almost a separate evaluation dimension in scoring

ooh, where’s the (new?) spice? I’ve been under multiple rocks

“I, personally, possess the choice on what irreversible impact to make on some other human being’s body without their input at all. Oh and also it’s supes totes fine to do, in general. To babies. Duh.” sure is a take

I’ve started seeing people make paperwork with explicit carve-outs for prompt use (merely referred to as “AI” with no explicit definition, so …. gonna be fun when the lawsuits start)

Fuck, sorry :( internet hugs available if desired

 

stumbled over this in my feed earlier, looks interesting

 

seen via this

might be a cool thing some here may enjoy contributing to

 

Just ran across this and figured I’d link to people, looks interesting

 

I forgot to post it here earlier but it's revision weekend!

 

in the spirit of this post, but from the other side

I have a shitdroid that I can't root because the vendor sucks, but google can go fuck themselves too. combined with that I haven't androided much for about a decade and know nothing about the current ecosystem.. I'm looking for good alternatives to a few things. free/foss preferred but I'm pragmatic over picky - if there's a good paid option I'm willing to consider it

immediate known requirements include contact sync, calendar (more business than personal but either works if it's good). maybe also other things I should know about?

judicuous preference to things that support open protocols and self-hosting (i.e. anything that has to use their service to operate - no go)

tell me about good apps! I know about syncthing and photosync

 

some of the sub’s friends are holding a conference although they’re still not totally comfortable to go public:

but buyers are warned that purchases will “require approval”

aww, the poor babies. even with literal nazis in the whitehouse they still feel uncomfortable to spout their weird shit

hopefully if this thing happens at all, someone documents the everliving hell out of every attendee

 

the precision and clarity are astounding

by the time the hilbert curves got there my mouth was hanging open, and it still gets better

 

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)

 

'cuz I definitely do

 

I will say I'm not much of a fan of mysqls but uhhhhh this seems bad

found this kicking around on one of the feeder sites a few days ago and only got to read it now

kinda neat. it's the sort of thing that you used to find quite a lot with keygens and other things prone to easter eggs, and that I don't really know of being as prevalent in more recent gaming and such
